PowerShell: Shot and Forgot
Sometimes I want to ask PowerShell to do something long, and then notify me that the work is ready. And while I do something else.
For example like this
(As a lengthy operation, "copy everything from c: \ windows \ system32 to d:")
The done function displays a message that says "done" and it can be seen even if your computer is locked.
This is achieved with such a simple piece of code in the profile:
For example like this
cp c: \ windows \ system32 -rec d :; done
(As a lengthy operation, "copy everything from c: \ windows \ system32 to d:")
The done function displays a message that says "done" and it can be seen even if your computer is locked.
This is achieved with such a simple piece of code in the profile:
[System.Reflection.Assembly] :: LoadWithPartialName ("System.Windows.Forms") function msgBox ($ x) { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox] :: Show ($ x, 'Done!: PowerShell', [Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons] :: OK, [Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon] :: Information, [Windows.Forms.MessageBoxDefaultButton] :: Button1, [Windows.Forms.MessageBoxOptions] :: ServiceNotification ) } function done () { msgBox ("done") }
